A lot of the profits to car makers come in the form of service. With electric motors there are very few parts to service so they lose a lot of money there.
Interesting to note about the battery development. Apparently the guy that developed the battery technology for the ev1 was bought out by gm who then sold the rights to the technology to an oil company
